Taking Part

Training & Preparation

Training before your challenge forms part of the amazing journey our participants take

Training weekends are a fantastic opportunity for you to get into the challenge spirit before the event itself.

We do not expect our participants to be professional athletes, or super fit by any means – it’s all about the experience – but it is true that the fitter you are, the more enjoyment and satisfaction you will receive from your chosen challenge.

A major benefit and a huge positive of the experience is having the opportunity to set targetsand increase your fitness levels in the lead up to the challenge. With our support, encouragement and advice, we’re positive you can achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

Training Guidelines

As part of our commitment to you and to support you on your journey, we supply comprehensive training guides for all our challenges. These will be sent to each participant, as part of the Welcome Pack received following registration.

However, if you've lost them or want a sneak peak brief, they can also be downloaded below.

Training Weekends

Training weekends are a fantastic opportunity for you to get into the challenge spirit before the event itself.

We hold trekking, off-road and on-road cycling training weekends, as well as a dog-sleeding information day for those taking part in The Husky Trail Challenge. There are many benefits of joining us on a training weekend:

Test your kit – you can test your kit out and/or grab some face-to-face advice from our Challenge Leader on what equipment is best.

Meet and get to know others who are also taking on a Global Adventure Challenge

Just fancy a great weekend away in the stunning UK countryside!

Information on locations, dates and costs can be found by downloading the challenge specific guide.

High Altitude Challenges

Any challenge that exceeds 3,500m in altitude is considered to be a high altitude challenge.

It’s very important every participant understands the effects altitude can have on the body. We’ve created a comprehensive document, which we highly recommend you read in the lead up to your challenge. You can access this by clicking here.

Affiliate Partners

We recognise the commitment our participants put into their preparation ahead of one of our challenges and therefore we are continuously forming partnerships with external providers and retailers to supply discounts to our community. Current perks are listed below:

Global Adventure Challenges hold an Air Travel Organisers Licence (ATOL number 6506) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. ATOL is a protection scheme for overseas air packages and flights managed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Many of the flights and flight-inclusive challenges on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all challenges and travel services listed on this website. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate
